Chapter 940 The Chessboard of Fate
“You want me to help the Deceit Witches? Why?”
Greem asked in shock while inside a secret room of Fire Throne.
Sitting across him was Alice, who had specially made the trip from the Northern Lands. Her expression was solemn as if she was concerned about something.
“Because these Deceit Witches are not good at fighting, because I am desperate to establish a good relationship with the Deceit Witches, and because that plane is not that dangerous. Most of all, because there, I can find…” Alice took the initiative and sat in Greem’s lap, where she whispered a name in his ear.
“What, you can find…”
Greem cried out in surprise, but his mouth was covered by Alice’s hand before he could say the name.
“You can’t say the name. Otherwise, unpredictable changes will occur in the whole event.”
Unfortunately, during one of the recent sieges, one of the two Fourth Grades of the Zambez Empire broke into the adept’s tower with no regard for his life and destroyed the interplanar teleportation array. It was a vital strike against the forward base, causing the Deceit Witches to lose their reinforcements and become isolated troops in a foreign plane.
Though the Fourth Grade responsible for this predicament had been severely injured and forced to retreat from battle, the other Fourth Grade powerhouse led their troops to siege the base in an attempt to topple the tower.
The situation at Henvic was extremely precarious!
What made things worse was the fact that the high-grade members of the Deceit Witches were all held up in other planes and could not be mobilized. As the leader of the Deceit Witches, Angelina intended to send some powerful subordinates into Henvic and transport some of the most critical resources for repairing the teleportation array to the tower.
At the moment, the person of choice was Second Grade Rena.
After all, she was the majordomo of Henvic Plane.
Now, her inadequate management had caused two dozen of their witch sisters to be trapped in a foreign plane. She was obligated to personally right this wrong.
However, as a scholar witch that had spent her years in comfort and luxury, her combat prowess was insignificant. Even her power as a Second Grade was something that had been forcefully attained by means of her identity as the daughter of Fourth Grade Clan Leader Angelina.
To save her own life, Rena searched for a way to find a reliable bodyguard for herself. Thus, through her relationship with Icelady Snowlotus, she managed to contact Fate Witch Leader Alice.
Alice couldn’t seem to be bothered initially. However, she had unexpectedly discovered something in Henvic Plane through her Fate premonitions. That, in turn, drew the attention of the Crimson Clan leader– the Third Grade legendary fire adept, Greem.
There was a trace of inevitability amidst all these twists, turns, and coincidences!
Naturally, Alice could smell the thick scent of Fate’s interference throughout all this.
That was why Alice immediately knew this was a game that her old opponent had set for her the moment she saw Witch Rena. Rena might not know anything at all, and might even believe that all this was a result of her decisions and coincidental incidents.
However, Alice could faintly see an invisible hand silently manipulating everything behind the scenes.
There were no signs nor evidence, but she knew the opponent existed and was also silently watching her every move and decision!
The next time, when Alice returned to the Tower of Fate to inform the anxiously waiting Rena of her successful recruit of Greem, Rena couldn’t help but break out into an expression of joy and surprise.
In all honesty, she hadn’t held high hopes in her journey here.
At the very best, she had been hoping to hire the legendary Bug Adept Billis and, if Snowlotus held enough sway, even Third Grade Bloody Queen Mary.
However, the one that would be joining here was the powerful Third Grade fire adept, the legendary clan leader of the Crimson Clan. How could it not make her overjoyed!
After agreeing on a time and location, Witch Rena and the accompanying master of Italil Tower turned to leave.
Alice could faintly hear the unconcealable and triumphant laugh in the air!
“Hmph! The game has just begun. We will see how it goes!”
Alice laughed just as coldly.
